I’ll never forget my Dad driving us to our various sports activities in his IROC Z-28, making sure we knew the words to all of his favorites: Tears for Fears, the Beatles and Eric Clapton, just to name a few.

Needless to say, everyone wanted to ride with us.

Growing up in Buffalo can be a challenge in the winter. I recall one year where the snow was so high we could barely get the back door open. My Dad would warm up the car…and then carry all four kids (and my mom too!) to the vehicle so we wouldn’t have to get our feet cold.
